Re: GRASS/STRUCTURE FIRE - CR 59 @ CR 967 - KM 612T - 453.850. Fire is out of control. Experiencing water problems and have major exposure problems. Wind is being a pain in the arse. Have Pearland, Manvel, CR 143, and Fresno all fighting this second fire. Trying not to lose Brush 23.

Last night, Christmas night, two Jersey City (N.J.) police (ESU) officers in an emergency services truck plunged more than 40 feet off an open drawbridge in dense fog and both has perished. The body of one officer was recovered and authorities searched the Hackensack River today for the second. The vehicle fell into the river Sunday night, after the officers crossed the Lincoln Highway Bridge and placed flares to warn motorists the bridge's safety warning system was not operating. The safety bar and bell used to warn motorists when the bridge is open had not been working for two days. Before the officers turned around and drove back across the river, the bridge's middle span was raised to allow a tug boat to go under. "As dark as it was, as foggy as it was, as rainy as it was, they had no idea," Police Chief Troy said. The body of Officer Shawn Carson, 40, was found Sunday night. He was pronounced dead at University Hospital in Newark. Troy said he believed the impact of the truck hitting the water killed the 16-year veteran of the force. Divers and other rescue and recovery teams from NY and NJ continued searching the 40-degree water today in an effort to recover Officer Robert Nguygen, 30, who had been with the police department for six years.

==Milwaukee Police are investigating a deadly crash involving an ambulance. The crash happened around 0130 this morning. Cops say the ambulance was traveling with its lights and sirens on, when a truck ran a flashing red light and smashed into it. The 29-year-old driver of the truck was pronounced dead at the scene. The paramedics suffered minor injuries.

==We got an e-mail today from friends of Firefighter Mike McMullen's (a Salisbury, Maryland FD firefighter) this afternoon reporting that he had been very seriously wounded in Iraq by a roadside bomb. His injuries are both abdominal and spinal, and he is reportedly paralyzed below the waist, possibly requiring a double amputation of his legs. They are attempting to stabilize him sufficiently to enable transfer to a hospital in Germany. I have no other details. Please keep him and his family as well as the families of the police officers in Jersey City in your prayers.........
